Found some time today. Took her for her first ride…. Felt sluggish, thought that maybe rings needed to come around cause smoking a bit. Been sitting for a long time. Then started to get worse but idled and revved(in neutral) fine. Then I found the smoking gun. Brakes are seizing up on the front right. Also Rear brake holds for a bit of time when lever is pushed and then release after half mile or so.

Got brake work to do. Leads me to believe this bike has been sitting for longer then I thought
